That is indeed very weird part numbering, especially with the A version following the B version by several years...

If only I could. This job has just gone to the bottom of the priority list.
I need to take 4 screws out, which also hold the ECU box lid down.
The middle 2 are fine but the outer one (by the pipes) has been damaged so a normal screwdriver will not grip.
And the inboard one just turns (not easily) without lifting so I suspect the metal insert it screws into is rotating in the plastic moulding.

It's much more important to keep my ECU box sealed and dry so I'm staying out of there for now.
